大家好，我龙利松，是知产四方馆的士子，我今天分享的主题是在专利申请前，员工违反保密义务泄露了专利信息，怎么办？（下）声明：本文系为普法目的而创作的，文中故事改编自真实案例，当事人的名称以化名处理，如有雷同，纯属巧合，请大家不要对号入座。这一天，小松总因为XXX智能背包的外观专利被小霆公司申请无效宣告，而关键的无效证据是小松公司设计师罗某在涉案专利申请日前3天违反保密义务发布的该专利背包的抖音视频，前往广东侨安律师事务所与法律顾问竹立商量对策。在最终制定了切实可行的无效宣告答复方案后，了解了提出要求不丧失新颖性宽限期的声明的相关注意事项后，竹立说，不丧失新颖性宽限期的声明并不是可以解决所有泄密问题的尚方宝剑，还是需要从自身出发，建立切实可行的保密体系，才能最大限度降低员工泄密的风险。而建立保密体系，需要以企业的自身情况为基础，在切实深入企业做调查之后，才能给出可行的方案。闻言，小松总心想，建
知产四方馆日常分享117黄泽霆：将他人注册商标作为商品名称使用构成商标侵权吗？
将他人注册商标作为商品名称使用构成商标侵权吗？大家好！我是知产四方馆的黄泽霆，我今天分享的主题是：将他人注册商标作为商品名称使用构成商标侵权吗？本文系为普法目的而创作，文中故事改编自真实案例，当事人名称以化名处理，如有雷同，纯属巧合，请勿对号入座。【问题的提出】实践中，不少商家会想出这样一个操作：别人已经注册好了文字商标，我直接把这个文字拿来，当成自家产品的系列名称来用。商家心里会想：我自己也打了自家主商标，这个名字只是区分产品系列，不是我的品牌，应该属于正当使用，不构成侵权吧？那么，把他人注册商标当做商品系列名称使用，会不会构成商标侵权？我们来看一个案例。【基本案情】小霆公司系“硕果累累”商标的注册人，该商标核定使用在第11类，空调、风扇、电暖气等产品上。商标成功注册之后，小霆公司也实际投入生产，开始生产、销售带有“硕果累累”商标的空调产品。另一边，竞争对手小松公司也生产空调产品，还做家
